You are not shocked in the least. You expected a backlash, you wanted a backlash, so you could parley another article out of a topic and hear your own self talk.

The other thing is can't really take the main lead singer's grating voice. Kerry Minnear, the keyboardist and other lead singer, had more tolerable vocals, but at his worst sounds like an anemic choirboy.
Man, this is exactly what I think! Derek Shulman sounds like a de-warbled Roger Chapman, can't improve on 'grating' as a description but I'd add ugly. Keyboard player sounds like a Peter Hammill... as a 7 year old, from Wikipedia:
Minnear did not sing lead vocals at live concerts, because of his inability to support and project his voice at a level suitable for live amplification
... phew, rock 'n' roll or what? Big brother Phil had the best voice but he was only with them for a few albums.
